Samsung M6000 User’s Manual Using the Floppy Drive 28
Using the Floppy Drive
The computer comes with a removable 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch, high-
density floppy drive, which can read, write to, and format the following
disks:


A high-density, 3.5-inch disk, which stores 1.44 MB of data.


A double-density, 3.5-inch disk, which stores 720 KB of data.
The floppy drive in your portable computer is
smaller but more power-efficient than a floppy
drive in a desktop computer. To get the best
performance from your floppy drive, handle the
drive carefully when installing or removing it and
use high-quality floppy disks.
The floppy drive fits in your computer’s SmartBay and can also be
attached by cable to a connector on the outside of the computer. For
information on installing the floppy drive, see “Using the SmartBay”
on page 26 and see “Connecting the Floppy Drive to the Floppy
Connector” on page 24.
To use a floppy disk, insert it into the floppy drive (Figure 13).

To remove a floppy disk, press the eject button on the floppy drive.
The drive light on the computer is amber when the computer writes to
or reads from a floppy disk. Do not remove a disk when this light is on.
